In My Mailbox Sunday #9

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme created by The Story Siren -The idea is to post whatever 'books' you may have received from the week (before), whether you purchased them, gifted to you, borrowed, traded, etc.

I have been so blessed with so many awesome things lately, and all of my books are the cherry on top :)

It was definitely another ah-maaazing week for me!!!

AND Lookie here, I received my very first official ARC on Friday!!!
I wasn't feeling so great on Friday, and was just laying on the couch watching a movie, dozing off, when I heard a bang on my door, scared the poop out of me! I thought someone kicked it, lol! I took a peek and saw the UPS truck pulling away, so I immediately opened the door and found this book sitting there!
Somehow, someway, someone from Penguin Books, USA sent it to me!
Thank you, Penguin person!!!
I don't know how I got on your list, but I am so happy and can't wait to read it :)

Can I Get An Amen? is an Adult Contemporary, which I like but don't read enough of, and it has some great blurbs (quotes?) on it by authors
Emily Griffin and Janet Evanovich -
so I'm really hoping it is as good as it sounds!
Release date is 6/5/2012.

For my Nook, I bought:Fracture by Megan Miranda
(Already read it and really liked it!)

Oppression was just released on 2/28 is available now for Nook/Kindle for only .99!!!

I also bought these in paperback:Torn by Amanda Hocking -
I can't wait to have the whole trilogy!!!

... and I also got The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks!
It's one of the few that I haven't read by Sparks, and with the movie due out soon, I need to read it before I see it! Plus, it's a book that I know that I'll be able to share with my Mom :)

What people say is very true, about NetGalley: It doesn't hurt to try :)
I really didn't think that I would be approved for any of these!
Much less get all three!
I've only been approved a few times before, on some MG books, so I am really excited to read these!
AND, I have yet to read a mermaid book - I know, what the h-e-double-stick is wrong with me, lol! I am really looking forward to seeing what Tempest Unleashed is all about!

I've got lots of reading to do - it looks like my IMM's are going to start quieting down for the next few weeks - I have a ton of reviews to catch up on too! and my "book allowance" has already been depleted for the month, eeek! lol ;)

What did you get in your mailbox this week???
This is my most fave meme to hop around and see,
so pleeeeease leave your links, thanks!!!

I was also really excited the first time I got my first ARC! I couldn't stop grinning and I instantly updated my status on Facebook LOL! :D

Amazing IMM this week, Margie! I heard that The Other Life is amazing read! Welcome, Caller, This Is Chloe is on my IMM this week too! I'm almost finished on Oppression and it's an amazing read! Happy reading, Margie! <3

Really Great week!!I share Nicholas Sparks books with my mom as well. =) She reviews on the blog sometimes! I also need to read The Lucky One. I have it. I hope that you enjoy all of your lovely new books.Happy Reading.

WOW, Margie! You had a super week - So many great looking books for you to look forward to! Surprise packages are the best ones, ;) I really loved Glimmer! It was strange but pretty cool. Hope you enjoy it! :)

You had a fantastic week. Congrats on the first ARC! :) I'm really curious about Starters...it sounds really good and there's lots of hype, but I'm not a fan of the cover. (But I shouldn't judge right?) Enjoy them all!

I really want to read Starters and need to pick up Fracture as well. I hear nothing but great things about it! So many books. I haven't heard of the one you got an ARC of before (yay for your first one!) but it sounds pretty good. It's a genre I don't read enough of either, but I usually love them - go figure!

Woo! Great IMM this week! I just requested The Other Life (the weepers) and Welcome, Caller, on Netgalley too - hopefully I get them. Woo hoo on your first ARC; I hope this happens for me too :)) Feel free to check out my IMM; new follower too, btw.
